Stuller, Inc. hosts mini conference for jewelry group

Leading Jewelers Guild visits global headquarters

Lafayette, LA (20 March 2017) – Stuller recently partnered with the Leading Jewelers Guild to host a one-day conference at its global headquarters in Lafayette, Louisiana, giving members of the guild an entire day of education and networking.

“The Leading Jewelers Guild, a strategic alliance of independent jewelers, was invited to our headquarters prior to their March 2017 meeting in New Orleans,” says Alex Graham, customer events manager. “We wanted to expose these jewelers to everything Stuller can offer them. And for most, it was the first time they were stepping foot in our factory.”

The one-day event, which was similar to Stuller’s Bridge® events, started with an opening from Stuller President, Danny Clark, then followed with several educational classes, including new trends in bridal to innovative developments in technology. The group also took the opportunity to tour the 600,000 square foot Stuller factory and talk with Founder and CEO Matt Stuller.

“We had an awesome time at Stuller,” says Jenny Caro of Jewelry by Design in Virginia. “Hearing Matt Stuller first hand tell his story about starting his business from scratch was very interesting. He is an inspiration to the jewelry industry for what he has accomplished. I highly encourage everyone to visit Stuller’s campus or to attend a Bridge Conference.”

“We had over 30 talented jewelers apply for this competition,” says Battle of the Benches judge, Adrienne Keleher. “These four contestants are at the top of their game, so trying to choose winners from their level of competency is difficult. They really outdid themselves again this year.”

“I actually cannot believe it,” says Overall Winner Jyothi Forman of Georgies Fine Jewellery in Australia. “What an honor. The competition was a lot of fun, and I had a really good time here and that’s what I really wanted, so this is just a bonus.”
